Patented Phil 1,469 Posted June 25, 2024 I was set to fly out with Spirit this morning at 7:00.  Fockers canceled my reservation last night for no reason.  Did the same thing to 3 other passengers.  I called and was placed on hold for 2 hours before I hung up.  Travelocity tells me that it is impossible to get a live person to help you on the phone.  So I decide to go to the airport early to resolve it with a ticket agent.  Get there at 4:30 and wait 30 minutes at an empty counter. At 5:00 the two ticket agents come strolling in, yawning incessantly.  It takes them 10 minutes to disinfect their workstations and log on.  Both are clueless and completely inept.  They get a supervisor on the line to handle the 4 mystery cancelations.  Angry black woman decides to let a family of 4 jump the line to be handled first.  Nice touch, seeing as I was there a half hour before them.  It takes 35 minutes just to straighten them out and get their ticket reinstated.  Now it’s 6:00 and I’m starting to wonder if my checked bag is going to make it on the plane.  Often times the cutoff is an hour before departure.  Angry black gets her Supervisor on the line again and it takes another 15 minutes or so before I finally get my boarding pass.  She checks my bag, swears to me it will get on the plane, then forgets to give me the bag receipt.  I realized it while going through security and had to go all the way back to the ticket counter to get it.  MF’ers.  If my bag doesn’t get there you may be seeing me on the news tonight. Nice to see they are spending all their time on this Pride nonsense.  That’s clearly more important than, you know, getting people on the planes they paid for. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree of Knowledge 1,699 Posted June 25, 2024 Jet Blue and Frontier have attempted mergers with Spirit in recent years but the Feds have blocked it.  Spirit can’t survive on their own much longer.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice to see they are spending all their time on this Pride nonsense.  That’s clearly more important than, you know, getting people on the planes they paid for. The one and only time I took Spirit I had a mostly hassle-free, great flight. I upgraded to their best seats, though, too but the flight itself and the flight attendants were fantastic and no issues at the ticket counter at all. The only issue I had was getting a refund back from them because they asked us to switch seats with a bunch of fat people who needed more space and they promised us a $250 refund on our tickets. Same seats just one row up. However, when I didn't get the refund after 5 days I called and was told they don't give refunds. Had to battle it out and ultimately they still wouldn't give me the refund despite the lady at the ticket counter promising us. She even gave me a receipt to showing what our refund would be and they still wouldn't budge telling me, "We don't care what our employee said to you. We don't give refunds". Good thing I used Paypal to buy the tickets so I opened a dispute with Paypal and Spirit NEVER responded it so they ended up awarding the dispute in our favor and gave us our money back. Of course, I realize that my experience is the anomaly here. I've read all the reviews and realize that a miserable experience is typically what you get with Spirit. There's a reason they have bad reviews.

Flying can be a pretty miserable experience even under decent situations. Spirit is not a good airline when there is trouble (few flights and they are a budget airline). If you booked through a site like Travelocity or Expedia it pushes you even further down the line. GL! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
